The Mayor of a regional Victorian town has slammed the state government’s new restrictions, claiming there’s “no rhyme or reason” to the rules.

Colac Otway Shire mayor Jason Schram told 3AW there was “no rhyme or reason” to the new rules, which exclude anyone from having visitors to their home – but allow groups of friends to meet at restaurants.

There are currently 54 cases of coronavirus in the Colac Otway Shire, with most of those coming from the local abattoir. “We aren’t seeing a great deal of community transmission here – it was people in the homes of the abattoir workers, but not spreading it household to household,” he said. Mr Andrews announced 723 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, as well as 13 deaths, making it the nation’s deadliest day in the pandemic.
